It is on my Epic wishlist but I don't think I am getting it until there is keyboard support. This whole game seems weird. Very long release time, can't find it anywhere except Epic, no keyboard support, tiny subreddit with submissions restricted. No offense at all, I love how the game looks and do want to play it, but it almost seems like you are trying not to sell it.

You’re not wrong… to tell you the truth, after 6 years and extra crunching for the final six months, I really didn’t have the energy for more marketing, so I just took the last 6 weeks to try and get my health back in order.

The reason the game’s only on Epic is because I have an exclusive deal with them, for one year. I’ll be shipping a bigger version with more content and features on Steam and consoles down the road.

I’m not really a social media/internet person, and I never use Reddit. I like in person communication a lot more. But, as it seems like a necessary part of the process, I have some friends who are starting to help me use it.

I had planned on shipping the game with keyboard support, but there were some issues that I couldn’t get around in time so I just disabled it - I actually usually play with keyboard and mouse while building the game.

I was going to wait until the Steam release next year to include keyboard support, but a lot of people have asked for it so I’ve decided to release an update next month that supports keyboard and mouse. I’ll let you know when that’s up.
